Eschaton
KAFIRUN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Larvae!

Guides this mortal form
To divinity! Nucleus has began diminishing
In entropy
Through me twilight′s gleaming
Cell by cell poisoning
Everything left
We are as one
The beast that never sleeps
Gloria letum exegesis
A passage to chaos
The void that ends lights voyage
Gloria letum in excelsis
Through me the beckoning wail commences
Gloria letum in excelsis
I have become
All life final breath




The moment that ends all moments
In ecstasy return in to his vastness.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in KAFIRUN's song Eschaton go beyond the realm of normal, everyday life. The song presents a vision of transforming a mortal form into a divine being. The first line, "Larvae!" represents the beginning of life, the start of a metamorphosis. The next line, "Guides this mortal form to divinity!" represents the transcendence of the human experience into something greater.


As the song progresses, the lyrics become darker in tone and more intense. The line, "Through me twilight's gleaming cell by cell poisoning everything left," represents the decay and corruption that is present in all living things. The next line, "We are as one, the beast that never sleeps," speaks to the idea of a universal consciousness that is always present, always watching, and always waiting.


The final few lines of the song speak of the end of all things. "All life final breath, the moment that ends all moments," presents the idea of a final death that is certain for all living creatures. The line, "In ecstasy return in to his vastness," represents the idea of returning to the infinite afterlife, with all of its vastness and mysteries.
